we didn't start the fire - billy joel

tried doing a blog post last night on my world cup blues but the browser hung and i felt too lazy to re-type everything again...essentially in a nutshell, not a fan of the penalty system to decide games. rather have 22 men play until they are so tired that goals are scored with the ball rolling/drifting in slowly to goal. it isn't sadistic, it's the proper way to settle a game. and not have luck favour one team with 50-50 guesses and the other team with naught to be proud of...

nostalgic mood today...'we didn't start the fire' by Billy Joel. still a great classic.
